I'm aware of the patch needed for TDE >=3.5.12, but my current interest is 3.5.12. After that when the patch is needed for future versions then I will look at applying the patch to the qt3 package. > So i'll repeat myself once more : > -> enable qt3 with devel support on your box > -> patch it (because i expect you want to fix some TDE bugs available > in 3.5.12 > & you'll need to patch for TDE from svn > 1214094 > -> compile, test TDE on your computer with a prefix in /usr (¬ > /opt) > -> if everything is ok, ask for a space online (i can help if it's > really > needed for that) to provide TDE in a contrib for more tests > -> & than if it's ok we can start thinking about including some part of > it As I said earlier in this thread I have of course already rebuilt the qt3 package on my box and started working on the TDE packages (thanks to work done by Tim for Mandriva it's far easier for me now). The point is with the overwhelmingly negative attitude directed towards me even 'thinking' about TDE in Mageia, I don't think my reaction is that surprising, or is it? At this point I don't think there is any chance that TDE ever goes into the Mageia repos, given the attitudes I have faced here. Also this is not really about my ideas as Xavier's post showed, there are others too that are affected by these arbitrary and unnecessary limitations (they are probably just less outspoken than I am). -- Mageia ML Forum Gateway: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/
